Currently, direct copies of drm_file->master pointers should be
protected by drm_device.master_mutex when being dereferenced. This is
because drm_file->master is not invariant for the lifetime of
drm_file. If drm_file is not the creator of master, then
drm_file->is_master is false, and a call to drm_setmaster_ioctl will
invoke drm_new_set_master, which then allocates a new master for
drm_file and puts the old master.

Thus, without holding drm_device.master_mutex, the old value of
drm_file->master could be freed while it is being used by another
concurrent process.

In drm_lease.c, there are multiple instances where drm_file->master is
accessed and dereferenced while drm_device.master_mutex is not
held. This makes drm_lease.c vulnerable to use-after-free bugs.

We address this issue in 3 ways:

1. Clarify in the kerneldoc that drm_file->master is protected by
drm_device.master_mutex.

2. Add a new drm_file_get_master() function that calls drm_master_get
on drm_file->master while holding on to drm_device.master_mutex. Since
drm_master_get increments the reference count of master, this
prevents master from being freed until we unreference it with
drm_master_put.

3. In each case where drm_file->master is directly accessed and
eventually dereferenced in drm_lease.c, we wrap the access in a call
to the new drm_file_get_master function, then unreference the master
pointer once we are done using it.

Series looks very nice, let's see what intel-gfx-ci says. You should get a
mail, but results are also here:

I found this a bit confusing, since I generally don't think of
dereferencing the pointer as "taking a copy". That's more for the entire
datastructure when you have a memcpy() call, or kmemdup() or something
like that. Also "it is recommended" is a bit weak if you get a
use-after-free if you dont :-)

So instead "When dererencing this pointer either hold ... or use
drm_file_get_master() ...."

Cheers, Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll clarify the kerneldoc accordingly.

Regarding the results from intel-gfx-ci, it seems that the patch is inverting the lock hierarchy for
&dev->master_mutex --> &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex

Currently the dmesg warnings share a common call trace:
drm_file_get_master+0x1b/0x70
_drm_lease_held+0x21/0x70
__drm_mode_object_find+0xd1/0xe0

Looking at the functions that lock &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex, this should be the only instance of this lock order inversion.

I'm thinking the call to _drm_lease_held can be moved outside of the &dev->mode_config.idr_mutex lock in __drm_mode_object. Any thoughts?
